Part Number: RS55005

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative Progressive Engagement Valving system to provide a custom-tuned ride for your heavy-duty Dodge or Plymouth 4WD. These twin-tube gas pressurized shocks are specifically engineered to handle the increased demands of a 2.5 to 4-inch lift, offering high-capacity fluid displacement for consistent damping. The durable construction ensures excellent dent resistance and smooth street comfort, making them the ideal upgrade for aging utility vehicles and weekend explorers.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A proprietary internal disc shim stack provides custom-tuned damping to ensure controlled handling during high-velocity impacts.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The large 2.25-inch body diameter provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation and consistent performance under load.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty hardened rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density material displacement provides reduced deflection to ensure more precise axle control and vibration dampening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with a 2.5 to 4-inch rear lift kit to ensure the suspension has the correct travel limits.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable for off-road use; if the outer body is dented by a rock, the inner cylinder remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.

Is any modification required for installation?
These are designed as a direct fit for the listed vehicles, though the bushings are precision-fit and may require lubrication for easier installation onto the mounting pins.
